Kim Crumbo served 20 years with the National Park Service in the Grand Canyon as a river ranger and later as wilderness coordinator. He worked as a professional river guide for 10 years and spent two years as the Utah wilderness coordinator for the Sierra Club. Before Kim’s experience on rivers and in wilderness activism, he spent four years with the Navy’s SEAL Team One completing two combat deployments to Vietnam. Kim was a proud citizen member of the Potawatomi Tribe; his grandparents were Native American and he spent his early childhood on or near reservations. His time in the Navy and as a river guide offered opportunities to work directly with diverse individuals, including Navajo, Hopi, Paiute, Havasupai, Hualapai, Zuni, and Ute peoples. Kim’s years as an advocate for public lands protection continued to provide opportunities to exchange ideas and concerns of importance to Tribal interests. Kim was a Rewilding Institute board and leadership council member.
